My older cousin got me hooked on trapping. I just came across this old photo and sent it to him to see if he remembers the event.

He and I got together at my place today for our annual crappie bash and as we have done every year we got our limits. We have probably been doing this for the past 10 or 12 years and have never failed to get what we wanted in crappies. He is now 79 soon to be 80. Thanks, Dave, for the memory and inspiration.

I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Great picture, should be on the cover of a trapping magazine.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Great picture, a classic. It reminded me of a hunting trip years ago. we tagged out early and were sitting around base camp waiting for the outfitter to pick up the horses, and to amuse ourselves we were doing the same with Stellar jays that were begging for treats. Good clean fun.

Seventy...not 75. You're making me sound old now.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
